Well it has been 1 month today since I was sleeved by my brillant surgeon Dr. Mickey Seger! LOL -

I had an appointment today and did a barium swallow test (they flavor theirs so not so bad) and all was well! I got to see my new tiny tummy!

I have not had any difficulties so far other than some gas issues. They confirmed I have not lost any muscle mass since my surgery so that is fabulous! I have lost a good amount of weight which pleases me and I am eating soft foods and soon to start solids.

The most awesome outcome so far with my surgery is that I have not had to take any diabetic medications or high blood pressure meds since my surgery which is just freaking cool!! (I was on 3 for the diabetes and 2 for the blood pressure!)

Just wanted to say I am extremely happy with my decision to proceed with my surgery!!

Hope everyone has as good a day as I am having! God Bless!! :wub:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
